OPM is proposing changes in the rules regarding maintenance of personnel files, known as Official Personnel Folders (or, OPF), for former federal employees.  Under the proposed rule change, OPM wants the OPF’s to be solely under the employing agency’s control until the worker leaves the government. Then OPM would be responsible for maintenance.  OPM also wants to change the rules to require the employing agency to be charged for requests for copies of former federal employee OPFs.
